Do you think the parking charge is just for the garages or even in the gravel lot next to the Bill Aker ballfield?

I think that they both have theit strengths. Evan is more of a banger which is needed at times. Jake is probably a better all around player but he gets pushed around too much. I noticed in the JV game against Brossart that they were trying to rough him up and he was giving it right back. He seemes to be playing much more agressively lately. I think that everyone feels that he must get stronger in the off season. If he does, he could be a load the next two years.

How will NCC play it without McDonald? Who do you think will start?

Omega Man - Your post is right on. You wrote almost verbadum what I was thinking, but your post saved me the time! LOL

Someone told me that McDonald had 24, but I don't know if that is correct.

Do you know any of the individual scoring? OTE=Qryche11;4270039]They lost 61-57 to Christian Academy of Louisville. You were close though. LOL

I heard that New Cath added a game Saturday night but have not heard any details other than they lost. Does anyone have any details?" scoring?

Thanks

Well you know what they say about opinions, there usually worth what you pay for them. I was just giving mine!

I think we would be silly to think that playing a freshman (Pangallo) would not stir up some issues at this point. I'm also sure it's not like when I played. My parents would have never complained to a coach about playing tiime. I know he forces shots at times but I think his ball handling against the press could be very helpful. What is there to loose at this point. The team is regressing!

I think that if something doesn't change, New Cath will struggle the rest of the year. They are a team full of good but not real good players. They do not have the "bell cow" who you can count on having a strong outing every night. Next year that could be Beuter and Mcdonald but right now that guy doesn't exist. No one wants to be negative but there are realities. The guards are turnover prone and can't really defend well. (They should play more zone) Besides there is no real third guard. I do not understand why the Pangallo kid is not given a chance to spell the other two. I also think the Franzen boy could provide a spark. He is quick, athletic and enthuastic. I know I don't see the kids in practice but who knew how well Mcdonald would play until he was given a chance. Just some frustrated random thoughts.

Nut, I think you are right on!

Thanks!

I was unable to attend the final game. Does anyone know who made the all tourney team?

I think the two keys will be if Mcdonald can have a respectible game vs Campbell and NCC's outside shooting, especially Buter & Ryan.

Who do you see as the key matchups?

This should be a barnburner between two of the top 5 teems in the 9th region. Holy Cross by 3!

I have seen him play twice this year and he certaintly is impressive. Did he play as a freshman? He must have to to have reached 1,000 points already.

Simon Kenton's games are broadcast live on 1160AM. I have listen several times while diving here and there. They do a good job and have many local sponsers. It's very cool!

I don't remember a lot about Ross Neltner. I know he played for Highlands and LSU but what was his High School career like? Did he play as a freshman?

The NCC coach did question the call but the officials would not back off their call. I saw this happen years ago where neither ref saw the ball go in. They went to the scorers table for confirmation. I have no idea why they did not do that. I thought that the official scorer was a "game official". Either way there is no excuse for one of the trail officials to not watch the ball.

He's had a few rough games lately, but I think is still averaging like 15 per contest.

It was a joke man, a joke - ease up already!!

I don't think so. I saw Campbell Co's win over Brossart last Sat nite. The Cambels zoned BBHS to death. If they would have gotten the ball inside instead of settling for the 3's, Brossart could have won by 7 or 8. If NCC gets a game from McDonald/Schultie (SP?) they will be hard for Campbell Co to stop. Mcgovney is very good and drives the base line like crazy, but seems to be a little foul prone.

I agree that Holy Cross is the clear favorite. They have 3 very good players in Campbell, Berger and Mcclendon in addition to a deep bench. NCC however seems to be sorting some things out and developing a balanced attack. It could be a very close final.
